It got me to
thinking about "The One" and having a little bit of a pity party. I look around at my long-time friends and
family and they have all found “The One.”
What’s wrong with me? Why have I
been gypped from finding the one for me?
Lord knows I’ve tried – three marriages, assorted boyfriends, and
endless blind dates and for what?
Nothing. Alone. Just me and my dog.
All this
pity led me back to browsing the on-line dating apps as much from boredom as
from curiosity. What is out there? Who is out there? Could there be The One for me?
Yep, that
ain’t gonna happen. Some of those people
scare me!! Shallow, superficial,
desperate, lonely – these descriptions do not fit me but certainly fit the majority of
the men who tried to contact me.
The more I
thought about it, the more I decided that when I least expected it I had found
The One. And I need to treat that one
with kid gloves, realizing The One needed kindness, compassion, trust, a
listening ear, regular compliments, honesty, and respect.
As you may
have guessed, The One is me. Just
hanging out by myself is far more entertaining than being forced to have a conversation
with someone simply because they are of the male species. Or dumbing myself down to make it through a
conversation about taxidermy, muscle cars, or the high brow acting career of
Steven Segal.
At some
point in my life, God will bring me The One but until that time, I’m going to let
Him work on me and the areas of my life that need forgiveness rather than
blame. So what if my love life hasn’t
been successful? Even though my romantic
partners have not panned out, there are countless people in my life who love me
unconditionally. Why do I need The One
when I have the many?
Here’s to
on-going self-improvement, self-esteem, and as always maintaining my sense of
humor in this crazy world!
